Can I hv aligners for my bottom teeth Plz advice

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
Q.
Hi! i would appreciate your guidance. My bottom teeth have moved over thelast two years,i believe due to me biting down on my back teeth when i am stressed and at the time i went through a personal trauma. I have been to see one harley street authordontist who recomended invisalign. It was completely out of my budget. I have noticed that it has affected my smile,i have a big smile and haave no problem with my confidence but i am growing increasingly upset by my teeth,especially seeing perfectly straight teeth in photos only two years previous. I have just been researching veneers,although i would not like my own teeth removed or ground down to have them. This evening i have just found out about the inman aligner,i am really interested. How do i get advice on what is truly the best option for my teeth? I hope you can help… Regards

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi, my front two teeth are a lot bigger than the rest, making them look odd. I was recently thinking about having them removed and having smaller ones in place, but obviously i need to know about the options available. Please could you reply providing information on any treatments that would be suitable. I am 19 years old and i have had braces in the past which aligned my teeth, however the size of the front two ruins my smile. Thankyou Riten.

Could I get Inman Aligners after having veneer treatment.Plz suggest

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Glaister, My top row of teeth are neat but the two front teeth stick out and they are longer than I would like. I was wondering: – is it possible to get teeth trimmed and to what extent (e.g. is it only the enamel part that can be trimmed?). Would it be necessary to have veneers fitted on the trimmed teeth – Could I get Inman Aligners even after having veneer treatment already? Many thanks and best regards
